BE ME breaks are like meditation on a supercharger!
Our modern world values doing, achieving, and multitasking, often at the expense of simply being. This constant state of striving leaves us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves. It’s not sustainable, and it negatively impacts our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. We are human BEings, not human DOers, and it’s critical that we cultivate a state of BEingness to thrive rather than merely survive.
BE ME is an acronym for the Body, Emotional, Mental and Essence realms of your experience.
When you take a BE ME break, and embody authentic alignment, you're harnessing the power of your whole BEing, gut heart and head aligned on the same team. These small, simple actions have a powerful impact on the nervous system because they interrupt the cycle of chronic tension, allowing your body to reset and build resilience over time. By giving your BE ME breaks consistently, 1-2 minutes 5 x / day help re-wire your nervous system, and re-write your story from one of stress, anxiety, depression, fear, or overwhelm, to one of feeling safe, grounded, connected, and present, more adaptable to stress and better equipped to handle life’s challenges with a sense of ease and balance.
Use these free BE ME phone wallpapers as an invitation to take a BE ME break.
Come home to yourself, align your body, and shift your mindset, so you can LIVE the next moment intentionally, and authentically.
Your phone is in your hand, constantly demanding and dividing your attention with every text, email, call, game, app, news...
Why not use it as a tool to intentionally cultivate BEingness, rather than an instrument of distraction that creates anxiety and overwhelm?
In a world that rewards going, doing, achieving, performing, producing, and fitting in, BE ME breaks are the antidote.

BEing AWE-some ME
Seeking, celebrating, and book-marking those moments when we feel literally moved by nature, music, or acts of human kindness, resiliency, or bravery. You know.. the moments when a tingle runs down up your spine, feel the hair on your body stand up, or you’re moved to tears…
AWE is a powerful emotion that stimulates the vagus nerve, and deactivates our default mode of survival and being singularly focused. When experiencing AWE we feel connected to the world at large, and more deeply in tune with to ourselves. Intentionally practicing AWE actually improves your health and well being.
Give yourself the gift of noticing and appreciating the wonder, mystery, and beauty of world that surrounds you.
Bring on the goose bumps!

BEing grateful ME
Intentionally cultivating, harvesting, and relishing the positive emotions you have about the people, places, pets, experiences, opportunities, and privileges in your life…but that’s just part of the story.
The most important part of BEING grateful is FEELING grateful. That means noticing and embracing the felt sense of gratefulness in your body. How does your heart feel when you think of someone you’re grateful for? Is there a spontaneous deep breath? Do you feel more expansive in your chest? Is there a sense of warmth? Does your whole body relax?
Noticing and “planting” the felt sense of how your body responds to BEING grateful deepens your experience and makes it more palpable so it sticks with you through your day. Over time this practice will help you LIVE moment to moment as a Grateful BEING…
Way to live!
